KOLLAM BACKWATERS
This historic coastline
district known for its marine and cashew industries was one of the oldest ports
on the Malabar coast and a major international trading point .30% of this town
is covered by the renowned Ashtamudi Lake, making it the gateway to the magnificent
backwaters of Kerala..The backwaters around Kollam, which extend from the
Ashthamudi Lake, are exceedingly beautiful.The backwater tour from Kollam to
Alappuzha is the longest cruise in Kerala. This boat ride from Kollam to
Alappuzha takes 8 hours and is a delightful ride, with lotuses and water lilies
growing in the water, water birds calling from the banks and otters splashing
and playing in the water.
